"Come on, fellows — the water's fine." If you have a drop of red blood in you. that call is enough. You pull off your clothes and in with a splash. But the keenest joy of all is to step put of the water and hear them say, "Oh boy, some chest." The Severe Test Now is the time they see you as you actually are. You can't hide it. Your skinny arms and legs, your flat chest, your narrow shoulders, are seen by all, and the other fellows will judge you by what they see.

LIEDERMAN Dept. 306, 305 Broadway, New York Dear Sir: I enclose herewith 10c for which you are to send me, without any obligation on my part whatever, a copy of your latest book "Muscular Development." (Please write or print plainly.) Name Address. City State. Sterno canned heat into a salt sack and squeeze the sack until all the liquid had been squeezed from it ; after which he would drink mighty draughts of the squeezing. This brought on a wild gavotte that was a cross between an incensed leaping tuna and a Denishawn danseuse interpreting Strawinsky." I agreed that this was a risky business, and was about to tell the aggrieved Myers that I was pleased to have met him, but he continued as tho I were not even present, as tho he addressed the whole wide world of laymen. "The other day an imported Chihuahua spear-thrower was delegated to hurl a leaden cannon-ball thru the window of a hut Iwas peacefully residing in. You see, they couldn't have a real cannon volley, hence that leaden pellet. Well, the result convinced me that spear-throwing was the forte unquestionably of that Mexican 3'okel ; the cannon-ball caught me on the side of the head, bounced off and knocked down the camera-man — and nearly upset the camera. For several minutes, I was so dazed that I heard screaming planets splitting asunder with prodigious booms, the Ride of the Valkyries, and, above both, the voice of John Griffith Wray directing a second act." I put on my hat, buttoned up my overcoat, took a firm grip on my umbrella — but he only smiled at me convincingly and went on : "Only yesterday, I had to ascend to a masthead at Laguna Beach, while an assortment of Sonoratown cannibals pursued me, letting fly at the same time exquisitely sharp and delicately curved knives. I think I mentioned that Bob Hill, our director, is a stickler for realism. You see, I was supposed to rush up that mast and tear down the jolly roger ! — and all the time I'm remembering the leading man at Vitagraph who was in the same kind of a picture once — well, one of those knives struck him, where — I'm not prepared to say — but I just refused to climb up that mast with my back to those cannibals. Gee, it was only this morning that " But I was going thru the stage door, utterly weak, dumbfounded, flabbergasted. I glanced back swiftly and timidly, and beheld a grinning Crusoe, white teeth flashing thru the facial foliage. But I didn't go back. I am too old and have suffered too long from neurasthenia to listen indefinitely to such terrific experiences. Once outside, cool wisps of rain humorously flicking my sad countenance, somewhat restored my sanity. I raced thru a diaphanous curtain of showering leaden raindrops in the general direction of Cahuenga Pass, that proud automobile highway, which in the distance resembled a gleaming vermicular ribbon along which glistening beetles crawled. But I didn't glance back again. Something told me that if I did, I would behold Harry Myers in the doorway, beckoning to me to come back and hear how he had miraculously escaped the ferocious attack of a wild, uncivilized sponge. THE RULE DOESN'T ALWAYS APPLY By Frank V. Faulhaber Interviewer : I s'pose you movie-people have to be punctual in the mornings, eh ? "Extra" : That depends who you are. If an "extra" arrives three minutes late she'll find another in her place. A "leading lady," tho, can come three hours late and the director will be waiting for her.
